AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin, featuring a typical 80s design, recognizable by its bright colors and stylized graphics. This badge depicts a landscape motif composed of two red triangles evoking mountains, surmounted by clouds and a stylized yellow sun, partially hidden on the left. The background of the pin is green, with the inscription "PHAS" in clear capital letters in a distinct rectangular cartouche, perfectly legible on the visible side.

The pin has a smooth and shiny finish, with an enamelled appearance on the decorative part. The dominant colors are red, yellow, green and beige, enhanced with black outlines to emphasize the shapes. The whole displays a geometric and playful aesthetic, characteristic of the retro advertising style of the late 20th century.

The structure of the pin is compact, with clean edges and a shape cut to follow the relief of the main motif. No detail of the fastening system is visible in the photo, as the image only shows the front face.

The pin is presented on a dark blue case with a gold border, which is not included unless expressly stated. A few decorative flowers are visible around it, but are not part of the object.

No specific brand other than "PHAS" is legible on the front. The whole is in good visual condition, with well-preserved colors and no apparent scratches or chips on the visible surface.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front shows very good preservation of the patterns and colors, with no major visible defects.
